For companies importing goods from China, multimodal delivery from China is not simply a convenience – it is a necessity. Long distances, multiple customs jurisdictions and large shipment volumes require well-planned logistics from China to Ukraine. Daleth Group manages multimodal transportation from China end-to-end, combining sea, rail and road transport in a single chain with one operator and full customs support.
What Is Multimodal Transportation from China
Multimodal transportation from China is the organization of cargo delivery using two or more modes of transport under a single contract. Unlike intermodal transportation – where each company is responsible only for its own leg – in a multimodal scheme the full responsibility for the entire route rests with a single operator: Daleth Group.
This means one point of contact, unified documentation and single accountability for timelines and cargo safety – from a factory in China to the warehouse or door of the customer in Ukraine.
Learn more about the service on the multimodal delivery page.
Advantages of Multimodal Delivery from China
- Cost savings – combining the cheaper sea leg with a faster overland leg reduces total cost compared to pure air freight.
- Flexibility – the route adapts to deadlines, budget and cargo type.
- Single responsibility – one contract instead of multiple agreements with different contractors.
- Transparency – online status tracking at every stage.
- Customs support – Daleth Group is a licensed customs broker.
“The multimodal scheme from China is the optimal balance between cost and reliability for most types of import cargo. A single operator with clear control at every stage eliminates the typical ‘gaps’ in the delivery chain.” – Daleth Group, International Logistics Department
What Cargo Can Be Transported by Multimodal Schemes
Multimodal logistics is suitable for a wide range of goods imported from China:
- Industrial equipment and machinery
- Consumer electronics and components
- Textiles, footwear and light industry goods
- Construction materials and tools
- Auto parts and accessories
- Chemical and pharmaceutical products (subject to permits)
Hazardous cargo (ADR classes) is transported under separate terms with the corresponding documentation.

- Route selection and freight booking – choosing the optimal scheme and reserving capacity.
- Document preparation – invoice, packing list, certificates, customs declarations.
- Transportation – executing all route legs with online tracking.
- Customs clearance – declaration in Ukraine by Daleth Group’s in-house customs broker.
- Delivery to recipient – transfer of cargo to a warehouse or delivery address in Ukraine.
Documents for Cargo Delivery from China
The standard document package for importing goods from China includes:
- Bill of Lading (B/L), rail waybill or Air Waybill (AWB)
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Certificate of origin (Form A for preferential duty rates)
- Customs declaration and clearance documents in Ukraine
- Permits for controlled goods
- Insurance policy (if insurance is ordered)

What Determines the Cost of Shipment
The cost of combined transportation from China is built from several components: freight (depends on route, transport mode and shipment size), customs duties and VAT on import, insurance costs, terminal and warehouse handling, and customs clearance fees.
The price of multimodal transportation from China is always individual. It depends on cargo weight and volume, the port of departure in China, the delivery deadline and the scope of additional services. Submit a request – we will prepare a detailed quote within 24 hours.
Multimodal Delivery Timelines from China
How long does multimodal delivery from China take? Sea routes take from 25 to 45 days depending on the departure port and transshipment scheme. The rail route via Kazakhstan and Poland takes 18–25 days. Air delivery with a road leg to Ukraine takes 7 to 12 days.
Overall transit time is also affected by customs clearance (typically 1–3 days with properly prepared documents) and last-mile delivery within Ukraine.
“The rail route from China via Poland is an underrated tool. It is twice as fast as sea freight and significantly cheaper than air. For regular mid-volume shipments – it is the optimal balance.” – Daleth Group, Rail Logistics Department
